What you need: A tube of older, slightly dried-out mascara (but no older than three months, to stay bacteria-free) and a tube of newer, more liquid-y mascara.

What you do: Layer your lashes with the older, chunkier mascara first (for serious volume). Then do another layer with the new mascara, to separate and add sheen.

The result: A look that’s full but also sleek and decidedly non-clumpy.
